48 FLOWER BULBS _ RUSSELL-HECKLE 
MEMPHIS, TENN. 
Gladiolus 
Culture—Gladioli will thrive in almost any 
good soil except a stiff clay. They require full 
sunlight and are liable to injury only from 
rank manure. Plant the bulbs 6 to 9 inches 
apart, the large ones 4 inches and the small 
ones 2 inches deep. Make an early planting of 
the smallest bulbs first as soon as the ground 
is sufficiently dry and warm. Continue to plant 
at intervals of two weeks during the spring 
and early summer; in this way a succession of 
bloom may be had from mid-summer until 
frost.

Six New Gladiolus 
All have been thoroughly proven and 
are much superior to many of the older 
varieties. The flowers are very large and 
bold, and the first bloom that comes on 
the stalk remains fresh and full until the 
whole has filled out.
